"I will leap to the presumption that the "we were just reacting to Joe Wilson's editorial" group bullshit is falling apart faster than a cheap thong in a hot dryer."
No shit. Have to say, I like Jane Hamsher.
Excellent post, really cuts through this whole miasma.
2. Joe Wilson, in his book and elsewhere, has long maintained that the White House Iraq Group -- whose notes and records Fitzgerald has subpoenaed -- did a workup of him in March, before his editorial was ever published. As early as his October 13, 2002 article in the San Jose Mercury News, Wilson was calling 'em all a bunch of hosebags. He had been flying in their radar for a while.
I never knew that, for instance...

What happens to the NYT when their complicity in all this is fully exposed? Can't very well fire Pinch . . . can the Times ever recover from this bullshit?
Fucking neocons. Why can't I get ONE decent NY paper? Where's a man to go? The Daily News? The fucking Post? For the love of pete, the Sun?
The Times has really, really let me down over the last four years. As much as I worry about the potential for attacks on the press, I want to see Judy et al pay for this bullshit. I have to wonder, truly, if Judy and Pinch aren't on the Bush admin payroll . . . hey, Armstrong Williams got a paycheck for shilling No Child Left Behind . . . how much do ya get paid for selling a war on false pretenses?
It's really amazing to me that writers like Jane Hamsher, Digby and Billmon aren't all hired by some liberal interest group to start writing for real in a magazine or something.
Okay, not having had time to spend on this particular Bush ClusterFuck owing to my position in the sweatshot, I am a little confused.
Where are we with this thing? If the "'we were just reacting to Joe Wilson's editorial' group bullshit is falling apart faster than a cheap thong in a hot dryer" does this mean that they are now turning on each other -- or that Fitzy is just unraveling this stuff in spite of their attempts to stick together, i.e., continue the conspiracy?

The "paper of record" will be ruined. Long before "all the news that's fit to print", the Times motto was "it doesn't soil the breakfast cloth".
I wish that were still so. One day, the Times will be taught in media classes right next to Hearst when Yellow Journalism comes up.

Poor Queen Judy
I dont think Fitz has called her back to testify but to offer her a plea bargain.
I think Fitz has correctly identified the weakest link in the conspiracy and informing her of the possible 20 years for conspiracy, obstruction of justice, perjury unless she turns as a prosecution witness. Judy who couldn't do 85 days is going to flip when faced with 20 years.
I thought Billmon hooked up a gig with the LAT or something a while back.

I don't read it anymore. I mean, after the 2000 election, Wen Ho Lee, Whitewater, Jason Blair and its atrocious complicity in the WMD fiasco, they're not worth taking seriously. I read the blogs instead.

That would be great, especially if they hired foreign writers who have not been cowed yet. I heard rumors earlier on that they were considering a newspaper over here but decided against it. A magazine could do better.

I've heard something for over a year about the Guardian either starting a weekly newspaper in America or starting a magazine. Great idea. There's a market for a quality liberal weekly.
From my favorite guide to these matters, H20 Man:
The Mystery Man's Secret (Karl on Ice)
Three quotes on the situation with Karl Rove that should be of interest, and clarify why he is scheduled to chat with Patrick Fitzgerald in front of the grand jury next week.
{1} "Fitzgerald is intentionally keeping reporters and everyone else guessing as to what's really going on in his head. Last week, NEWSWEEK has learned, after Time's Matthew Cooper provided grand-jury testimony on his July 11, 2003, conversation with Karl Rove, Robert Luskin, Rove's attorney, placed a call to Fitzgerald to make sure he didn't need anything more from Rove in light of Cooper's claims. Fitzgerald didn't bite: 'We'll get back to you,' the prosecutor replied curtly, and quickly got off the line."
-- "The Mystery Man"; Darman & Isikoff; Newsweek; 7-25-05; page 32.
"Apparently, according to two journalist sources of mine, when Rove learned that he might have violated the law, he turned on Cheney and Libby and made it clear that he held them responsible for the problem they had created for the administration."
-- "The Politics of Truth"; Joseph Wilson; 2004; page 444.
"(Mark Felt) gave me a little lecture about breaking a conspiracy like Watergate. 'You build convincingly from the outer edges in, you get ten times the evidence you need against the Hunts and Liddys. They feel hopelessly finished -- they may not talk right away, but the grip is on them. Then you move up and do the same thing at the next level."
--"The Secret Man"; Bob Woodward; 2005; page 91.

Wow. Just wow.

Heh
I think that market is huge. Reagan's "conservative movement" reached market saturation long ago.
Jeffraham,
I'm so sorry; that's terrible. I wish I lived near you so I could invite you over for something to eat. Damn. Is there anything we can do?
Hecate: I'm so sorry; that's terrible. I wish I lived near you so I could invite you over for something to eat. Damn. Is there anything we can do?
No, no -- it's okay, really! I was just hoping to go pick up the loan, and get some groceries. I still have a meal or two at home, so no worries. 
.
Hecate -- But as always, thank you for your concern!

Heh
Good point, though disagree about the "red state" bit. There has to be a liaison between the left and the Soft Chewy Center™. Someone who can calmly, quietly make him/herself understood. Otherwise, Liberals and Progressives can be shouting till they're blue(er) in the face, and the Chewies will just be scratching their heads, going "what's he saying? I don't understand...". When you desire to communicate with, and especially to convince some of the rightness of your point of view, speaking their language is the first step that makes all subsequent steps possible. Skip that step, you might as well stay home.
(if I were in imminent danger of starving, trust me -- I would have taken my scraped-together change from last night and bought food instead of beer!)

Back to Judy, I think she's terrified about going back to jail.

Fitz appears to me, from the appropriately scant grand jury news, to be the perfect prosecutor.
Cheerfully provide the brush, paint, and corner to the witnesses. Then marvel at their handiwork.

This Tuesday and Thursday are "orientation" days, then the regular schedule starts on the following Monday.
Assuming, of course, that I passed the pee-pee test (which, again, I definitely should have). I haven't heard back from them, but they can't call me on Monday. T-Mobile has this thing about bill payment, silly bastiges.

Jeffraham,
When you get the loan, pasta and dried beans are still really cheap and fill you up. If you can get a ham bone or some veggies great, but if not, even plain water will turn both of them into a meal. I learned to love bean soup when I was a struggling single mom!
You would think as a mobster's daughter, Judy would be better prepared for some quality jail time. Wimping out after 85 days, her father would be ashamed.
But now she is probably facing 20 years, as Fitz will explain on Tuesday. Will she break the code of silence and sing like a bird.
Going to be real good.
I hope Fitz has people on hand to round these people up quickly when they go down, especially if he gets Chimpy and Big Dick. They're batshit crazy enough to do anything if cornered.

Can't get the link to work --
can anybody give me the short
version?
I think they chucked that idea. Now they are talking weekly magazine. Different idea. Just don't know when launch is.
By sheer coincidence, I received a thing in the mail today asking me to subscribe to Guardian Weekly.
However, at $119 for the year, it seems a bit too much for me.
Around 7:30 on Wednesday morning, Mr. Cooper had said goodbye to his son, resigned to his fate. His lawyer, Mr. Sauber, called to alert him to a statement from Mr. Luskin in The Wall Street Journal.
"If Matt Cooper is going to jail to protect a source," Mr. Luskin told The Journal, "it's not Karl he's protecting."
That provided an opening, Mr. Cooper said. "I was not looking for a waiver," he said, "but on Wednesday morning my lawyer called and said, 'Look at The Wall Street Journal. I think we should take a shot.' And I said, 'Yes, it's an invitation.' "
In court shortly after 2, he told Judge Thomas F. Hogan of the Federal District Court in Washington that he had received "an express personal release from my source."
That statement surprised Mr. Luskin, Mr. Rove's lawyer. Mr. Luskin said he had only reaffirmed the blanket waiver, in response to a request from Mr. Fitzgerald.
LINK
So after Cooper suddenly announces he's testifying, Rove "volunteers" to testify for a fourth time. Right. He knew he had to cover his ass, because he never thought Cooper would talk.
But it wasn't until Miller testified that Fitzgerald took Rove up on the offer. Very interesting.
This is really getting good!
More on the Guardian coming to America.
Can't get the link to work --

Sure- Fitzpatrick is getting ready to fuck all of them big time.
Especially Miss Judy, who is apparently looking at jail time since Fitzpatrick already knew that she'd talked to Libby before July.
There has to be a liaison between the left and the Soft Chewy Center™. Someone who can calmly, quietly make him/herself understood.
Yeah, that's Kevin Drum. I mean, he gets sort of annoying when he doesn't jump on the firebreathing liberal bandwagon right away but I think he more than makes up for it with his graphs and original analyses. It's good to have a, well, square or two on our side. "Moderate" conservatives and middle of the road types seem to like him: Tacitus before he went off the res, the Washington Post editors, the TNR crew and so on.
What is the song of the chickenbeaver native to the U.S. Northeast?

Oh, definitely -- I'm a big pasta-head, anyway. I eat it allatime, even when I'm not destitute.
Really, I can make $10 last a week or more for meals. It'll be cool when I don't have to do that, but I've managed really well -- with a LOT of help from my Atriot friends, of course!

Keystone criminals
cooper got a personal waiver from libby a year ago but didn't get one from rove until cooper was about to be sent to jail.
judy didn't get a personal waiver from libby until after fitz sent a thinly veiled threat to libby.
Either miller and her lawyers and cooper and his lawyers are the dumbest fucks ever or else libby and rove didn't want them testifying.

Senate Dems Defend Miers on Top Court Nod
Need I say more. Dems are defending her more than the Repukes. Bush and Karl must be having a good laugh? How do you defend a totally unqualified appointee and a known Bush crony and evangelical pro-life nut. Thank you Harry Reid for your "leadership".
Any guesses as to why Fitzgerald hasn't subpoenaed Bolton and Fleitz yet? I think it's safe to assume his visit to Judy in the slammer wasn't a social call.
This is an old link (9/20/2005), but I think it suggests ample reasons why Bolton and Fleitz should be persons of interest in the investigation.

Can any legal experts lay out in a simple manner, what the rights, obligations, and immunities are for a witness in a grand jury investigation. I dimly remember a constitutional law course I took decades ago mentioning some oddities about that kind of court.
I still worry that Libby is going to take the fall for this, and no-one else.
If it's just Libby who goes down, I think most people are just going to shrug and say "Who he?"
It's good to have a, well, square or two on our side.
Yeah, perhaps. But what the left needs in this country, and is lacking, is the firebreathers. We have no Limbaughs or Coulters or Malkins or O'Reillys.
And I do not mean that we should try to compete with the right in hypocrisy and outright mendacity. But the ardor and the willingness to say things that seem outrageous but that can then enter the public discourse is what we need...
hd - Need I say more. Dems are defending her more than the Repukes. Bush and Karl must be having a good laugh? How do you defend a totally unqualified appointee and a known Bush crony and evangelical pro-life nut. Thank you Harry Reid for your "leadership".
I agree she's unqualified, but I'd like to look a bit closer before I decide the Dems have sold us out. It could just be that Harry knows something neither you nor Bush know about her.
I know nothing, beyond what I'm told, which is that she "works very hard." I'm not the slightest bit convinced that she is all the WH has claimed she is, for the benefit of the Right.
Not at all.
In fact, I'm not sure that she is what she has pretended to be to further her career.

Murdoch having changed his spots before, The Falafellator (and Hannity and the rest) will be in trouble before El Rushbo. But he won't be far behind, I think. Of course, he's so rich now, he can probably stay on the air somehow, even if it's limited to 3 A.M. on a few dozen stations. There'll always be a bit of a market for the crap he sells.
Need I say more. Dems are defending her more than the Repukes.
The Senate Democrats have the money, the public polls on abortion, and the reputation to filibuster this nomination. Remember, Shrub was forced by the Senate to use a recess appointment for Bolton.
They are keeping their powder dry at the moment for some reason. I hope the gamble works the way they plan.

Shit!
When was this?
Brown rice, beans, lentils, a little olive oil, onions and root vegetables.
Cheap and good for you. And most can be purchased in bulk to save even more.
Also, if Fitzgerald can really get Judy to sing, it's going to be a disaster for either the NYT or the Bush administration, or both. Either Judy gets to admit that she knew the WMD party line was bullshit and printed it anyway, or she gets to explain that Rove and the boys were deliberately using the press to gin up fake excuses to invade Iraq, and she fell for it.
By itself, the Downing Street memo didn't have much in the way of legs, but in the context of a determination that top White House staffers were already engaged in a conspiracy to propagate misinformation and suppress dissent (as would be shown by conspiracy charges in the Plame case) the DSM starts to take on new significance.
I would imagine this is leading to a lowering of the boom on Wilson.
Although, what's to stop Miller from writing new entries and claiming they were from 2003?
If Libby goes, Pork Chop Boy goes. Scooter ranks Rove on foreign policy, war, and most economics, but even a senior aide like Libby does not make the Niger play on his own - that's Cheney's devil child.
The Big Dick will not go easy, but it's him or Shrub.

What was your role in that? And some people are questioning whether or not you helped scrub the President's TANG records. Would you care to comment?"

Bird flu strikes in Danube delta
Romania has reported its first bird flu cases but it is unclear if the strain found in the Danube delta is the deadly H5N1 virus which hit parts of Asia.
Scientists in Bucharest discovered flu antibodies in three domestic ducks found dead in a remote village late last month, the government said.
The exact strain is to be determined by a lab in the UK in the next few days.
According to an unconfirmed report, three more cases of bird flu have since been found and a cull has begun.

No.

I wanna destroy the Filibuster forever, because it basically says that 41 Senators can stop the business of the Senate for no good reason.
Gary Ruppert
Why do you hate the Constitution. One time. The filabuster is especially important when, like now, you have a majority of senators representing a minority of the population.
as Washington Post columnist E. J. Dionne Jr. has pointed out. Dionne
found, based on July 2004 Census Bureau figures, that the 44 Democratic
Senators represent 148,026,027 people, while the 55 Republican Senators
represent 144,765,157. (Independent Vermont Senator Jim Jeffords, who
votes with the Democrats on such issues, represents 310,697, making the
gap even greater.)
We really have to keep this mind.
Eli, you're a funny guy. Do you do improv comedy or stand up? You should think about trying out for the Groundlings or the Upright Citizens Brigade. Really, you have a quick wit and you're verbal.
Okay, I'm going to pretend this isn't sarcasm and say I suck at improv, did standup twice in college (1 success, 1 catastrophic failure), and nooo.
I lost my appetite for public performance somewhere along the line, possibly as part of my slightly-successful attempt to rein in my ego...

Yeah right. Just like they're doing right now. Just not for people who are alive.
The 5th Amendment:
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Life doesn't begin when the child exits the womb, it begins at conception.
The 5th Amendment explicitally says that you cannot deprive someone of life without due process.
Unborn children have not been convicted of any crime, and they are slaughtered every day.

NOt only that, the 44 Dem senators recieved 3 million more votes than the 55 Repubs.
Woody - since you didn't mention duct tape, I'd go with the glue.
The filibuster is a tool like any other, neither good nor bad in itself, which can be put to good or bad uses.
Rethug/Dixiecrat filibuster of civil rights in the 1960s - bad use.
Dem filibuster of unqualified/evil candidates or bad legislation in 2000s - good use. (Sadly, used too little.)
Majority rule is an American value. Preventing a "tyranny of the majority" is as well.

You don't get to say when life starts, Gary. You aren't God.
could i just load up the rim with gorilla glue and stick it back on?
Are you talking about the mirror. If so give it a try, the urathane water activated foaming gorilla glue (as well as the after market copies of it) I've used for almost the exact same fix on my sons old buick. I've replaced the mirrors a couple of times and eventually people bumping them in parking lots make the mirrors loose again. So, I finally fixed the wobbly mirrors with gorilla glue, and haven't had to fool with them again.
tips, clamp the part to be fixed with tape, and cover anything below the part so that when the glue foams out of the joint, you won't have to pick it off the body later.

Gary Ruppert
Gary--to give birth is far more medically dangerous than having an abortion. To force someone to give birth who is pregnant and doesn't want to be is effectively breaking several laws and constitutional amendments.
Besides, until the government is willing to pony up the medical and financial services required to fully support a child and a parent for several years, I do not believe the government has yet acknowledged that the newly born are humans.
It is the lack of good faith and social policies of the government which makes abortion a necessary part of this nation.
Aaargh! Ruprecht is the stupidest of the stupid.
Its not necessarily stupid, its just your basic Troll Classic. It's just spouting bullshit to get a reaction. It probably doesn't believe half of what it spouts.
Life begins at conception: prove it Gary.
Prove it.
Talking to Gary is like talking to road kill.
Unpleasant and pointless.
Gary:
it is my sincerest wish that you impregnate you own retarded daughter and get upon her a down syndrome fetus, meanwhile losing all the social services you need to maintain your child, much less your incipient grandchild, because of budget cuts necessitated by the perpetual wars you are going to be supporting from now on...

So let me get this straight. They all go before the GJ for the first time (or two or three) with their version of the story. Then some inconvenient new facts arise from Judy's "found" notes and now they all are clamoring to go back to the GJ to revise their story in light of the new facts. This means that some or all of their original story is BS. And they just get a second chance to correct the no longer operable statements.
How is this not perjury?
Would any of us regular Americans get a second (say nothing about a third or fourth) chance in front of a Grand Jury if it became clear that we lied in our testimony?

Exxon's working on it.

The airport is separated from its users by a quarter-mile-wide channel of water, forcing travelers to catch either a ferry or a water taxi.
Some Ketchikan leaders want to rename the airport after Rep. Don Young (news, bio, voting record), R-Alaska, for the all the federal money he's brought to the area, including the bridge. Young is chairman of the House Transportation Committee.

I just heard the word, "entitlements" mentioned again as a possible way to cut the budget.
What proportion of the US budget is spent on that, what are the percentages of the various parts?

Bye for now, friendly moonbats! Off for the weekly dinner with my niece. Polish food today, of the sort I know how to make from scratch but seldom bother to.
Be back later.
I wonder if Rove will ever return from his "long planned family trip to visit colleges with his teeneage son"? Methinks he might not. Is he willing to take one for the team, or will he turn on his fellow petrolsexuals?

Personally, I think we'd go from the frying pan into the fire. Someone so Fundiegelical he/she drools and breaths fire at the same time. We'd get Dobson himself, or maybe Robinson, even. The sane Reps would shake their heads and vote to accept, tha Jeezo brigade would all have simultaneous orgasms, and the Dems wouldn't know what hit 'em. I think the Dem leadership looked over the situation, and went "Fire? Frying pan? Frying pan! Right. OK, let's roll". Politics do suck, have I mentioned that?

Exactly. They pretty well blew it after Nixon, though. What a missed opportunity.
A few baseball players wore them during day games this year. The lenses had a red-orange tint, making them look Satanic.
Well, that does it. I would love to freak out my local bible thumpers by looking satanic.
Or moreso than normal, anyhow.

Gee what a surprise.

More like the embodiment.
This time there are so many "non-Bush" Republican scandals that it should theoretically be very easy to depict the Republicans as fundamentally corrupt.

Any SCOTUS pick Bush makes is bound to be bad. The great thing about Miers is that she's really pissing off most of the Republican party. Dems should attack her as the unqualifed crony she is but draw out the process of confirmation as long as possible to do maximum damage toh Republican image.

Lesson I take.
Republican base: Bush appoints a born again Christian to the court and they're in full rebellion because it's not exactly the one they wanted.
Democratic base: Democrats vote for the war. Thank you sir. May I have another.

Brownie was confirmed to be FEMA's Chief Counsel. Brownie was a lawyer before he was doing the horse shows... so he was slightly less unqualified for the position than when he was Director.
By the time he had the top job, FEMA was part of the bloated Department of Homeland "Security" and wasn't subject to Senate confirmation.
Brownie was confirmed to be FEMA's Chief Counsel.
I didn't know that. Why wasn't that mentioned when everyone was bitching about lieberman voting for him?

I'm not saying they should vote for her, I don't think she deserves any D votes. She is an opportunity to sow dissent in the Republican ranks though and they ought to make the most of it.
Why wasn't that mentioned when everyone was bitching about lieberman voting for him?
I'm not sure that many people realized that. It was true that Lieberman did confirm him, but no-one double checked that it was for the same job.

Jeez, that's been a long time ago.
Old Man from Scene 54 - I like all your comments on this. I agree with you completely.
People are talking like the Democrats have already all voted in favor of Meirs. As far as I know, there hasn't been a vote yet.
There also hasn't been a hearing yet. Who knows what we might find out there?
Lest anyone think I don't know this - I do know that Wild Thing came out years after Little Surfer Girl.
It was just a funny.

"Life begins at conception, therefore unborn children are people."
Of course, didn't you know there is a miniature fully formed able to function child in every embryo immediately upon fertilization?
Luke --
I thought every sperm was sacred, whereas (unclean) women have nothing to do with the process except incubation (teaching of Holy Mother Church for centuries -- to be fair, they didn't have microscopes)
As I recall, Wilson later reported that he published his op-ed essay finally because he was warned that the WHIG was "working him up" for a preemptive strike.
Fascinating stuff; just as entertaining as the Watergate investigation.

They're embryos.
They're fetuses.
They're NOT children until after they are born!

-The one with the stains.
Setting aside the probabilities that Fitz will prosecute someone for the leak I think when it comes to the matter of the perjruy of all the players he will probably wisely just lay out the whole sordid story and leave it at that. The effort to try the cases would be massive and pardon waits in the wings.
Sadly the court of public opinion, the voting booth probably won't bring us justice. So it goes.
